Lyon County Deputies: Motorcyclist Injured by Target Shooter

The Lyon County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting that injured a motorcyclist in Fernley Saturday afternoon.

The victim's injury is not life-threatening.

Deputies say Ceresola Flats is a common area for target practice. Deputies interviewed several people who were shooting at the time, but they have not determined who fired the shot that injured the motorcycle rider.
